Nottingham Forest are the most popular pick among punters for who will win the Championship in the 2018-19 season, according to Oddschecker.

Aitor Karanka has already signed Michael Dawson, Diogo Goncalves, Joao Carvalho and Gil Dias this summer, and the additions have led to an uplift in optimism. Despite being 14/1 to win the league (Sky Bet), they are the most backed throughout the division.

Forest have accounted for 36 percent of bets over the last week, as the UK public continue to tip the Reds for success, ahead of favourites West Bromwich Albion and Stoke City.

Karanka’s men are also the most backed to be promoted, attracting 27 percent of bets over the course of the last seven days.

Reds supporters will be keen to see more names through the door this summer – with El Arbi Hillel Soudani and Daniel Podence the latest names to be linked.

Oddschecker spokesman George Elek said: “Despite attracting some support last summer, nobody could have predicted just how dominant Wolves were going to be last season with the help of agent Jorge Mendes.

“With his involvement rumoured at Forest this upcoming campaign, punters are keen to ensure they don’t miss the boat this time around and are lumping on them winning the Championship.”
